Pros

The best thing about working for Baxter was the annual variable pay which was always more than 100% but just like other companies Baxter also started cost cutting and paid very less variable pay this year which was less than 95%. HR here don't do any work and still end up getting 14% hike. And senior manager cuts hikes of his reporters and gets himself a 20% hike! Individual contributors are not valued here and not recognized even after giving the best.

Cons

Bad management, bad HR, in cost cutting mode where birthday celebration was happening every week three years back to not even happening once in a quarter now. They also stopped giving birthday goodie citing non global standards. This company is falling in it's standards and I recommend you to not join if you are joining for IT. Your manager will not even know what you are working on.

Pros

Was a great company 5 years ago. Declined heavily in the last 3 years. Way too many lay offs and restructuring.

Cons

Favoritism. Manager has no answers looks to someone they manage for answers. This person gatekeeps information and is overall toxic. Contradictory instructions. Managers will rely on bad information and then different managers will give you conflicting orders. If you try to go to the upper managers they will terminate you and lie about it. You could be asked to solve problems you were not hired for.
